Avoid conventional scrubs and exfoliants, they are made with toxic ingredients such as fragrance, preservatives, parabens, and colorants, or other controversial ingredients such as clay, acids, and micro-beads.
❌ 𝘼𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙨: Other main ingredients often found in natural scrubs are lactic acid and glycolic acid. I find them to be too aggressive and they may create skin reactions. The SCCNFP: SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND NON-FOOD PRODUCTS reports glycolic acid as a skin irritant. ❌ 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨: If you are in another country check for micro-beads aka micro-plastic on your scrubs. Banned in the USA but still present in other countries. While in the USA microbeads are banned from cosmetics, they are still present in certain countries. if you are traveling there bring a plastic-free scrub with you!
Beat the microbeads: A European microbeads ban in scrubs and cosmetics was expected in 2022, so there are still many scrub products that are carrying toxic, polluting microbeads, dangerous for marine life and all of us. Especially in Greece, Poland and Spain read the labels and check that they do not contain the following:
1. Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate
2. Acrylates Crosspolymer-4
3. Styrene/ Acrylates Copolymer
4. Carbomer
5. Dimethicone
Avoid Greenwashing facial scrubs for men made by brands that pretend to be organic, eco-friendly, natural, or safe when it is not. They use misleading greenwashing techniques to convince you to buy their products! They contain controversial ingredients:
Controversial preservatives:
